They will not be blank since your club income also needs to be reported on them.
Club members may have other foreign tax reporting they need to address on their personal income tax forms. They will need the information on the club forms to complete forms they need to personally file. It would be very difficult for clubs to determine the details of each members personal tax situations to effectively determine who may or may not need the forms.
Due to the large penalty you'd be assessed if you didn't provide forms that you should have, we feel the best way to proceed with this is for you to provide the forms to all club members.
You will probably have 7 to 8 additional pages for the single K-2 that you'll need to file and then 7 to 8 additional pages for the K-3 forms that each member will receive.

Click here to Subscribe to the Club Cafe email list. Click here to UnsubscribeHi Ira, our club has no dividends from foreign companies or foreign taxes withheld.
Do I still need to file the new schedules? We are 16 members which means about 400 blank pages.
Another question: I normally do my taxes manually, we don't buy the tax program Is there a way to file electronically in case I need to file K-2 & K-3?

Jeff,
You haven't seen the revised instructions released on Jan 18. They state that partnerships, even those with no foreign activity, must provide the information unless they know for certain that their partners have no other foreign activity that would require an 1116. Penalties for failure to file are the same as those for errors/omissions on Schedule K-1 - $280 per K-2, increased to the greater of $570 or 10% of the items to be reported per K-2 in the case of intentional disregard.

Because the latest revisions to the for instructions that the IRS released on January 31 contain this wording:
A partnership with no foreign source income, no assets
generating foreign source income, and no foreign taxes paid or accrued may still need to report information on Schedules K-2 and K-3.
For example, if the partner claims a credit for foreign taxes paid by the partner, the partner may need certain information from the partnership to complete Form 1116.Laurie Frederiksen

TaxAct is $110 for software to complete and electronically
file a Form 1065. That's the least expensive. (TurboTax is
$160, I think).

My point is that spending $ on the 3 Ps (Postage, Paper, &
Printer ink) in order to file a Bivio generated return is
still more convenient and economical than the alternatives!

Hi Laurie,
We have the BATT ETF and Bivio is asking for the country to which the taxes were paid. As you noted we typically have put in "Various" for this (and that is what is reported on the 1099 from Schwab) but that is not an option on the Bivio form now. I checked the web link for BATT below for Prospectus Tax information, but it does not indicate any country (and if fact there will be several countries I would guess as they are an ETF covering many companies in many countries such as Australia, China, etc). What do you recommend?
Thx

Sometimes there is nothing on the 1099 even though the ETF had foreign income. So you're going to need to check the company investor relations pages for all ETF's your club owns.
What you will be looking for is information like this which the Amplify funds have posted for their ETF's BATT and JGLD.
